ANNOUNCEMENT! AMIRI BARAKA!

Amiri Barak will be on campus today, and is giving a talk tonight.  I'm trying to make sure as many people know about his visit as possible.  Here are the first couple of paragraphs from the KU press release:

LAWRENCE — Amiri Baraka, a poet, playwright, novelist, music critic and political activist, will give a public lecture and poetry reading next month at the University of Kansas.

INVITATION: Kevin Prufer, Tues Night and Wednesday Afternoon

We are cordially invited, dear Bathtub, to attend a reading Tuesday evening.

Kevin Prufer will be reading Tuesday night @ the Union @ KU (the Kansas Room) @ 7pm. If I were a betting man, I would say it will be good.
